Forums - Gaming - Mirrors Edge, why didn't it sell more?

Mirriors Edge: A game about an Asian Woman, who runs and jumps around the tops of buildings and avoids fights.

 

 

Why did this game not sell a 100 million copies?

 

 



Around the Network

As a First Person Platformer Mirror's Edge is simply amazing. And it's in the top 10 best looking games this generation. But people don't really want to play a first person platformer, especially not when it's kinda short (name a non-RPG game that isn't, nowadays), has broken combat mechanics and no story to speak of.

It has a story, it's just poorly developed and not very fleshed out.

Game had too much color. Needed a color palette of brown or grey.

Asian main character wasn't a stereotype or had size D tits.

Game did new things, needed a cover system and exactly like other popular games.

It was doomed to fail because it didn't fit into the majority of purchased titles on the 360 or PS3 by not doing these.

Okay, let's compare.

LBP had tons of colour

Sackboy didn't have size D tits (lol)

LBP did new things (level editor, physics, 2D with three planes, character customisation, stickers)

And yet it sold 2 million copies.

No, Mirror's Edge didn't sell because it wasn't a particularly good game. Besides, EA deserves it. If the crap they release on a yearly basis (cough NFS undercover) sells 2.5 million across both platforms, they deserve for one of their good games to sell badly.

In a perfect world, the sales of Mirror's Edge and Undercover would be swapped. But hey, EA gets the same amount of revenue here.

 What r u trying to prove? That 11/30 + 25/62 = 36 of 92 games have either muscles, 60-player online or Hollywood cinematics in them? That's just 39%, I don't think that's much.

25/62

Am I wrong? And that's not only US numbers, as you tried to paint me a cherry picker.

PS: I'm counting FPS or shooter-like games (I counted Fallout 3 yet not Mass Effect)

 

 

 What r u trying to prove? That 11/30 + 25/62 = 36 of 92 games have either muscles, 60-player online or Hollywood cinematics in them? That's just 39%, I don't think that's much.

That's just the shooter stuff, if I take into account all three parameters we reach a staggering 49/92 games, more than 50%. What I'm saying is true and you know it. A large portion of the HD install base is teenagers, especially 18-20 years old.

Thus they want muscular, huge and impressive heroes/heroines shooting / beating up stuff and then sit back and enjoy 20 hour cinematics that cost a shitload to produce. Afterwards, when they finish the game, they play their 60 player deathmatches.

 



Lol @ Slimebeast

It was a harmless joke, and you spoiled the fun



Because me and Jason Guard Gamestop and killed anone who waked out with a copy.



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind
